Title says it all.

Im not sure the spikes of llama yarn is really beneficial to a weapon or other object like a mug, could you elaborate because spikes doesn't always epitomize what you think they are, they could be blunt decorative spikes meant to be used as a pattern to give texture or depth or jagged edged ones like you describe.

Spikes of llama yarn is stupid and should just be removed from the game honestly.

It's not that inconceivable, you can make crafts out of just wool and water IRL (felting), and people have been doing it for a while. Having done it myself I can testify spikes are on the level of what a novice could make. Tie them to a string or drive a nail through them and they can easily be connected to, say, the back of a chair or a warhammer handle.

Oh just imagine a dwarf charging toward a goblin wielding his warhammer that's all decked out in soft fluffy felt cones of various bright colors and sizes!  Sounds more like a weapon fit more for a pillow fight than anything.  Although in Asian martial arts movies, I often see spears with feathery fluff bits at the pointy end to make it harder to block or anticipate precisely where the attack is coming from, so the llama-wool-spiked warhammer could be organized in a similar way. 

However, in general, with regard to spikes of more dense material, I did a quick google search on "war hammer" and it appears as though all the single handed warhammers already have spikes.  If it were decorated with spikes of a superior weapon's grade material, decorating implies adding to, and not replacing; so where would the spikes be located?  On the sides?  That would require a side swing rather than a forward swing. 

That being said, there are variations of warhammers that are 100% blunt (seems to be mostly the 2-handed warhammers).  In which case I would agree with the premise of this thread.

DF warhammers don't possess edge attacks, suggesting that they're at least somewhat blunt on both ends.
